{Guest Post!} Turkey Burgers with Spinach and Feta

Hello Grub with Lovers, Melissa here! For those that don’t know me, I am Anne’s older sister. I live in the South Loop of Chicago with my husband Brad and my dog Lucy. Anne has so kindly let me guest post on her new blog. I love to cook and am excited to share a recipe here and there with you.

Since Anne posts tasty vegetarian recipes, I thought I would give you a meat option. These turkey burgers are a staple in our house and are great leftovers the next day. My method bakes them in the oven, but you could also cook them in a skillet with a little oil.

Turkey Burgers with Spinach and Feta

Makes 6 patties

Ingredients

1 Tbsp olive oil

2 cups fresh spinach

1 lb ground turkey

1 egg

4 oz feta

1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs

ground pepper

dash of cayenne pepper

6 hamburger buns

Directions

Sautee the spinach in olive oil over medium heat until wilted. Remove from heat and slightly cool.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, mix the turkey, spinach, feta, and breadcrumbs. This works best to mix with your hands but you can also use a spoon. Season with fresh ground pepper and cayenne.

Grease a baking sheet. Form your mixture into patties. Bake on each side for 10 minutes, or until cooked through.

Complete with your favorite toppings! I like to top mine with avocado and brown mustard. Serve with sweet potato fries.
